You\u2019ve had a 140 days of sittings and I\u2019m told no parliament in his first session has done more than 130 days. This is to the collective credit of members on both sides of the House and your respective leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the process this, parliament has passed a number of bills relating to my flagship programmes. Again I\u2019m told it\u2019s the first in the 4th Republic, the flagship programmes and this case as many as five have been passed in the first year of government. I\u2019m grateful and look forward to our continuing to work together to make our nation great and strong,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s Address is his second State of the Nation Address in Parliament, in accordance with Article 67 of the 1992 Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>President Akufo-Addo is expected to itemise sector by sector the general health of the country and outline policies and programmes to facilitate the country\u2019s socio-economic development in his second State of the Nation Address.<\/p>\n<p>The sectors to be covered in the address include health, agriculture, education and energy among others.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/players\/kP1mL6T7-GtVgZhNx.html\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"auto\" allowfullscreen=\"\" style=\"position:absolute;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 32 updated by: 32 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Thursday, 8 February 2018 Source: kasapafmonline.com 2018-02-08 play videoParliament of Ghana President Akufo-Addo has lauded the hardwork of the current Parliament describing it as the busiest in the 4th Republic.
